The False Tagline of The Last Exorcism - Page 2

This creates a situation where everything is subject to God's plan or mercy, so if a person was to think that God's plan didn't involve demons or Satan, they wouldn't have to exist. This opens up the existence of demons and Satan to be testable in empirical ways, to look for God's plan ourselves. So the existence of Satan and demons, while shown to exist in the past in different biblical texts, is still contingent on what you think God's plan is, because God, the all powerful, could have banished them from existence.

The best way to see if Demons or Satan still exist is to look for solid evidence of their existence, and so far I haven't came across anything that could reasonably be called solid. Through the lack of evidence and the unknown nature of the inner workings of God's plan, the tag line for The Last Exorcism is false. A person can believe in God and still be skeptical of both demonic possession and the existence of Satan.
